The flower-filled courtyard garden is encircled by ancient cloisters founded by St. Francis of Assisi in 1222 and there is also an old Saracen watchtower. The interior has furnishings that contribute to that special period flavour that has always characterised the Luna Convento. Across the road from the hotel and down a flight of steps there is a seawater swimming pool with a sunbathing terrace and wonderful sea views. The Luna Convento is a hotel of history whose art in hospitality has been perfected over 180 years of experience.
